NEW! AMG Flat Badge Available! WHITE STAR Flat Badges back in stock!
I have resumed production of WHITE STAR Flat Badges. In addition, to address numerous requests, I have also designed a second badge,
an AMG Flat Badge.
Both flat badges are handmade from a genuine Mercedes upright hood ornament, part 210 880 01 86, using the original mount of the OEM part. So, they will fit all cars using this part: C-Class Sedans (only) 1995-present (W202, W203, W204 Sport or Luxury); E-Class 1995-present (W210, W211, W212); S-Class 1995-present (W220, W221), and CLK 1998-2002 (W208). These badges will NOT fit cars not designed to use the Original upright hood ornament, such as the W204 C63 AMG or the W203 Coupe.
Of course, the new AMG Flat Badge appropriately fits ALL AMG variants of cars above. The AMG badge offers enough contrast that it can also be used on cars with the tri-star badge on the grille, thus avoiding the “double badge” duplicate star issue on the newest car models.
The following picture (to right) shows the mount and lock of these badges, used without alteration from the original upright star. This ensures that your replacement flat badge will lock in the hood, just like your upright star. (Not like other flat badges that use funky screw posts with washers and wing nuts that take time to adjust.) It takes just seconds to remove your original upright ornament and replace it with either the WHITE STAR Flat Badge or the AMG Flat Badge. Switch back and forth between your original ornament and flat badge anytime the whim strikes you.
Each badge is autographed and serial numbered. Serial numbers are assigned in the order payment is received.
There currently are 365 serial-numbered WHITE STAR Flat Badges in circulation. The new AMG Flat Badge will start a new sequence of serial numbers, beginning at 003.
Your badge is delivered in 2-3 business days, via USPS Priority Mail, anywhere in the US. Int'l delivery available on request.
As always, I do not talk about pricing at MBWorld. This is to avoid confusion on the forums where I can be more specific off line. If you are interested, simply click on my e-mail address below my signature, and send me an e-mail. I will respond promptly, as always.

It occurs to me that some of you might not know the history behind my products here at MBWorld. So, I will post a link to one of the previous threads that proved informative and popular throughout the years. This link includes hundreds of photos of the WHITE STAR Flat Badge on various cars. Naturally, the majority of the pictures on W203s are further down the history of 320+ posts.

Weather warmed up enough to take a couple pictures of the new AMG Flat Badge. First two pics are of my W203, followed by a picture on a W211 E63 AMG.
Here are a few pictures from the archives of the WHITE STAR Flat Badge on various cars.

In this case like all others: cost is what you pay and value is what you get....

I second Mr. Sack's comments. I received my AMG badge quickly and found it to be a solid, perfectly crafted (and centered), OEM-quality item. I am 100% satisfied.

The picture you site is of badge #003, which now sits on sack5000's car, and he has already stated it's properly aligned.

sack and black... maybe you two can post pictures with the AMG badge on your cars, when you have time.
No one wants to see it on my Desert Silver hood, which is no longer an available color on many sedans.

Here are a few pictures of the AMG flat hood badge on my 2009 E63 Iridium Silver. Again guys, a very nice addition to the car. These are just out so very unique.

Thanks for the pics, Sack. It's helpful.
Still not quite feeling the AMG badge. Maybe I'll do the White Star again (I really like that one; I bought two in the past) since the laurel wreath on both the WS and the AMG flat badges are now a repeat of the later model OEM grill badge. So, even though you kind of repeat the star, you're still repeating the laurel wreath (if what I said makes any sense )
Anyway, let me say to anybody thinking about one, you can't go wrong with either. And for those of you thinking you'll get something nicer off eBay for cheap... well, good luck. These are top quality (and have the best mounting set up too.)

Your WHITE STAR Flat Badge is in the mail today!
I was out of town for 5 days. You should have received an automated message to that effect, saying that I would respond when I returned. I always answer inquiries promptly...
